ALASKA SALMoN.-A dispatch dated
at San Francisco. on the 20th, says:
THE bark Corea, Captain Guile
came in today, fourteen days from
Cooks Inlet: Alaska Her cargo
consisted of 10000 eases of salmon,
the catch of the season. Cutting q
Co. state that the catch this season
was not quite so good as anticipated
Last year the catch amounted to ",
600 cases, against 10000 this, though
facilities this season were double
those of last year As the Corea
came direct from Cooks Inlet, she
brought no Southern Alaska news"
Henry Georges Standard claims
"a bright outlook" for the labor party

Following are the average wages
in Puget sound logging camps: The
men Who handle the swab and lubri-
cate the skid with dOgtish oil receive
about $50 month, this being the
lowest position in the crew. The
swampers, barkers and hook tenders
get Eabout $40; the skidders, who
must keep the road in repair. get $50;
if proficient; log cutters receive about
$50, and teamster handling from B
to 9yoke of oxen, which he must take
care of and shoe, receives from $50 to
$125. Cooks get from $40 to 800,
according to size OF crew
An exchange puts it in this way:
When a man comes into the office
and planks down the cash and says
~send me your paper for year" that
means business. When one says, Il
want your paper but hayn't got the
money now," that's all right. When
he takes one out of the post ctfice for
several months and sends it back
refused" it's meanness. When u
man spends from ten cents to dol
lar for cigars or beer every week and
says he can't afford to take his home
paper, that's a-no such thing. When
q man borrows his neighbours paper
to read every week, that's check.

HOP PICKING Ezra Meeker,
of Kent, came to the city last evening.
He reports that the work of picking
the hops is now progressing very
smoothly, although for awhile some
of the growers were little nervous
over an apparent. shortage in fhe
usual supply of pickers. The appar-
ent shortage really resulted from q
number of growers having more
pickers than they needed, Mr.
Meeker says that now things have
adjusted themselves so that there are
plenty of pickers for all. The crop
is about two thirds gathered, and the
work will be completed by the last of
next week As to sales, Mr.. Meeker
says every one is quietly awaiting
developments. The present outlook
would admit of sales at twenty cents
a pound, but none are talked OF.
Samples of this years crop are now
on their was to London, and when
they arrive there dealers will cable
prices. Mr.. Meeker says England
and the continent will need at least
100000 bales-Seattle P.-I.
